A
remarkable cover! This is a release from Apache Records in cooperation with
Alcatraz Music, the organization behind the most True Metal festival of Belgium,
the ''Alcatraz Festival''. As far as I remember The Lucifer Principle was
present at the very first edition of this festival and they did a pretty good
job. These guys, from Holland, are totally into Death Metal and perform this
kind of music just the way I like it; technical but yet melodic and with an
overwhelming power. The Lucifer Principle released an album of old school Death
Metal before, called ''Pitch Black Dawn''.

The
band takes off with an overpowering track; 'Born In Bloodshed'. The way the
backing vocals are used in this song are pretty original in a Death Metal song.
The supportive vocals in the background are ''traditional'', the front vocals
grunt. Often you hear the opposite, remarkable but it fits! Also the heavy
loaded middle part is awesome, same counts for the technical played yet
emotional guitar solo. Just the way I like it, just the way a good Metal song
should sound!

'Bond
Of Supremacy' is another song that will take you by the throat, once again the
solos are remarkable. As a matter of fact all songs are good enough to blow you
away if you're into old school Death Metal with a dark atmosphere. Another track
I adore is 'Death Resort' because it injects TLP's fury and brutality directly
into my veins! Same counts for 'Nullification Of Life', a song that could create
a devastating mosh pit during a concert. Once again I hear fantastic guitars...
My favorite track of this goody is 'Kadaver', containing all ingredients that
makes Death Metal so awesome but all are performed in an extra dimension...

Except
for the opening track I can say that every particular song is strong enough to
convince the listener but the album needs time. It took a whole before most
tracks kept on playing on my mind. Yet this is the type ofalbum that you will give spin after spin. Especially the aggression in
the rhythmic foundation, the vocals and riffs, contains an addictive effect and
will easily rip your face off. The sound of The Lucifer Principle is full ofpure anger, devastation, annihilation...

The
first release of Alcatraz Music is one to be proud of! Yes, this album is a must
for every Death Metal fanatic. No doubts that this release will surprise many
fans of extreme Metal. The Lucifer Principle will play, as a co-headliner in the
''Alcatraz club'', at the next edition of the Alcatraz festival. On the main
stage you can welcome Saxon, Ross The Boss, Testament, Helstar, Agent Steel,
Onslaught and Killer. Place to be is Brielpoort in Deinze-Belgium, the 8th
of August 2009. Check http://www.alcatrazconcerts.be
